Default Without the bloody sections!

This is a short video of Sabaton opening for Iron Maiden in Ullevi, Gothenburg earlier this week. Ignore the music if you don't like it (I don't), but why I post the video is just to show the magic of a crowd without silly diamond circles, golden circles, general admission and whatever other crap. THIS is how a rock show/crowd should look like! I wish Jovi would end this bloody crap dividing of the concert field... *sigh*

No bloody sections would mean less "bloody money" for Bon Jovi, LMAO

And I agree with you, Bon Jovi cater to the social classes, you have more so pay more, you don't then go to the end of the field, kinda business practice, but we have been all over this already.

In the OWN booklet, there's a photo taken from the stage directed at the crowd from one of the Wembley 95 shows, it looks just like in the video you posted. Sadly Jon appears to choose money over atmosphere these days..

I agree that it should be just one standing pit and nothing else. However, there are two pits in the video you posted if you look carefully

Check out just how dead the pitch is and how half empty the enclosures are in this vid from the HAND tour.. *warning* Hull alert! *warning*
They could easily let some lucky people in to fill up the empty spaces in the GC etc Its disheartening for the fans behind them to see all this dead space in front of them, the fans in the stands to see it and of course the Band looking out to see it too.

One large GC would be enough to satisfy Health and Safety surely/overcharge the fans with.

It's been discussed quite a but on here but you are 100% correct. The fairest way to do it was have one ticket but let FC members and any other GC who were there early enough into a front smaller pit. It worked perfectly fine until the Bounce tour, since then the atmosphere has got worse with each tour, this one by far being the worst. HP was good though, only having one pit helped alot.

Yes there was but they were filled up on the day first come first served and FC members so you didn't get the huge pockets of space.

Don't they have to have a separate area at the front now anyway, for safety etc etc? That's what I thought.
